Benoit Chesneau commented on COUCHDB-1303:
------------------------------------------
posted on dev@ , copied here.
I would really prefer to sit down a little and start to rethink the couchapp
engine. Restful means imo that on a particular resource we could react on each
actions (here HTTP verbs). Instead we did the same error Rails did by having a
resource per actions or so. Bulk updates would be another hack around this so
I'm -1 on such features. New ticket about what i would like to design is coming
along.
> Add a _bulk_update handler similar to _update but for bulk document changes

> _update handlers are great (and getting better!) for building RESTful API's
> inside CouchDB. One limitation I found tonight is that _update can only do a
> single document at a time. If the API I'm building needs to update multiple
> docs (in a similar fashion to _bulk_docs), then an outside "proxy" script is
> required. It would be ideal to have a _bulk_update handler to allow for the
> same functionality as _update, but with the ability to insert multiple
> documents at once.
> Perhaps the current _update handler API could be extended to support multiple
> IDs/documents, but a separate API endpoint would be seem reasonable if needed.
> Thanks for considering this idea.
